Comment:

Calculus 3. This guy is obsessed with being a "professional." His introductions to the chapters are confusing. He does not explain things conceptually, he simply begins with a formula derivation. Granted, he does tell a story first...

Comment:

I thought he was a pretty easy prof. Quizzes every monday out of the hw assigned. The only thing that kind of stunk was the mid term and final being the only two test, but if you keep on top of the hw and study the questions he goes over in class you will be fine. He takes his time to go over harder topics. Over all I really enjoyed his class!

Comment:

He is switching his test from multiple choice to hand written. The midterm counts for 30%, quizzes are also 30%(held every monday about 12 quizzes total) and the final is 40%. He isn't a bad professor but there are better professors one can take and I don't feel like he is approachable to talk to or yo get help from.

Comment:

Honestly a very easy professor. One quiz every Mon, usually one or two kinda easy questions from HW in the book. He gets off topic a lot when teaching, so you have to learn a bit on your own, but every cal II class is gonna be hard. I'd say his would be the easiest. Not very challenging tests, easy quizzes, and he wants to pass his students.

Everything posted here is true. Exams/quizzes directly from the book. Do the HW multiple times, including the evens, though they might not be assigned. In your "blue book" (aka formula sheet) write down the instructions at the beginning of the book section, then the formula used, etc. Lastly, work on SPEED. Exams are hard to do in only 50 minutes.

He is a really great professor. He teaches you the material in a timely manner and proves everything. Hmwk is not mandatory but he strongly encourages it. If you keep up with his lectures and do the hmwk (like you should do anyway) easy A.

Comment:

His accent is quite thick, but by the end of the semester I was used to it and hardly noticed it. Believes that students nowadays are "incapable," so he doesn't really challenge you in class. If you can adjust to his accent, you'll have no problem with his tests, as they are pretty easy. However, I don't feel I retained much from his class.

Comment:

he is a great teacher. works lots of examples. english is not great but good enough. if you take alot of notes you will do so much better. cant use a calculator, and he doesnt use blackboard. tests are somewhat difficult but very do-able if you study. quizzes are very easy. this professor is not for everyone but i would take him again.

Comment:

Horrible Calculus professor. Can barely understand what he's saying, presents unorthodox methods (especially with series) and wastes class time babbling about Chinese philosophy. Does let you use a formula sheet, but besides that there is nothing good about his class. TAKE ANOTHER PROFESSOR.

Comment:

Professor Chang is a very good teacher, notes and homework are directly related to his test. If you 100% of his homework and study a little bit you will get an A. One con about professor chang is that he has an accent but it is not bad enough to where you wont understand what he is saying.

DO HOMEWORK! cant stress it enough. Tests and quizzes are literally straight out of the homework. He is a very funny guy that likes to crack a joke here and there in class. He expects students to be polite and on time.

Comment:

Dr. Chang is very old school. I took him summer MAT 1073 and didn;t use a claculator. he explains very well, you need to take notes and the homework will be easy. the tests are the exact same as the homework so if you do it you shouldn't have any problems. also, some of the homework he counts as extra credit. take him! he's a very funny guy too

Comment:

I asked him a question and he said I was stupid and that I must've voted for Bush. Do the HW about 3 or 4 times, don't ask too many questions.. and you'll make an A. You can tell he hates America so when you talk to him, tell him you are Canadian.

Simple man. Very clear and teaches very well. He will explain it until you understand it. DO HOMEWORK! Tests are straight from the homework. NO quizzes. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he'll notice if you're there, and it helps bc he's a great teacher. Can turn in hmwk for extra credit. VERY FAIR and by the book type of guy, so use manners.

Comment:

I had Dr. Chang for two different classes. He is very fair and quite devoted to teaching. Just know he is old school, so mind your manners in class. Do ALL homework! This cannot be stressed enough in his classes. Tests are almost directly from homework. He likes to delve into theory at times, but he keeps it interesting for the non-math majors.

Comment:

Good professor; knows what he's talking about. Has a moderately thick accent but is understandable. Take his class if you are really good at math. If you do the homework and know your stuff, you'll do well.
